Letter to OMB and OIRA on Alcohol Labeling

From Congress members Jan Schakowsky, Rosa L. DeLauro, and Shri Thanedar: "We are writing this letter to show our support for the Treasury Department’s initiative to improve transparency in alcoholic beverage labeling through three regulations (Proposed rules RIN 11513-AC93 and RIN 11513-AC94, and Prerule RIN 11513-AC95) and to urge the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to prioritize reviewing these three rules and release them before the end of this presidential term. 'Empowering all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices' is a key pillar of the Biden-Harris Administration’s National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, and publishing these rules will be an important part of the administration’s legacy."

Request for leadership to accelerate publication of promised alcohol labeling rules

For over 20 years, advocates have been pressing TTB to require a “Serving Facts” label that tells consumers the serving size, amount of alcohol (in fluid ounces or grams) and calories per serving, the percent alcohol by volume, the number of standard drinks per container and other needed information to make responsible drinking decisions. In response, TTB deliberated, asked for public comment, issued draft rules requiring mandatory labeling that were never finalized, and in 2013, settled on a voluntary rule that has been largely ineffective.
